STOLE
Howard HaIversonIArrested Charged
With Larceny.

Howard Halverson settled in Cheyenne
about i've years ago, and shortly after
wards became proprietor of the Occi-
dental hotel. As Halverson became ac-
quainted he became popular. While of a
quiet disposition, he was neither retired
nor of a sordid temperament, and while
saying but little always relished a Joke
and was invariable on hand when any fun
was in sight. His business was pros per.
GUS, his credit good, and to all appear
ances his domestic affairs ran smoothly.
He soon wearied of prosaic boarding
house life, and engaged in the saloon bus
mess with Harry Hynds.
The firm made money from the start, but
the members could not agree, and Halver-
sons share Of the profits regularly disap
peared mysteriously. Halverson sent his
wife east, took quarters at a private board
ing house and began gambling. After a
time Mr.. Hynds purchased Halverson's
interest in the saloon which they Jointly
owned. Since that time the former pro-
prietor OF the Occidental has never been
known to work a day. His sole occupa-
ton seems to have been to eat at the pri-
vate boarding house mentioned above
and contract debts at the establishments
of business men who were coniding
enough to trust him.
Several months ago a pair of diamond
earrings were stolen from the rooms of
Mrs. Fay McDermott, in the Kelly
block, on Seventeenth street. Halverson
was strongly suspected of the theft and
accused of it by Thos. McDermott. He
Indignantly denied the charge and the
matter was dropped until yesterday.
Mr.. McDermott happened t. be walk
ing past Halverson's clearinghouse yes
terday when a young lady who resides
there engaged him in conversation.
McDermott happened to notice the ear
rings she wore and at once recognized
them as the property of his wife.
Seconded by an officer he gained possess
sion of the jewelry a short time after,
when it was learned that Halverson had
presented the earrings to the girl.
Last evening the thief was arrested and
placed in the city jail. He acknowledged
the theft, but offered as an excuse that he
was hopelessly drunk when the crime was
committed.
Halverson has lately been leading a
worthless and immoral life and merits
severe punishment, but will probably not
be prosecuted. AS a Dutchman once re
marked of a brutal murderer: Jail ish
too good for dot Teller; he ought to be
kicked out of town."

browning features of the parade to day,
the Wyoming Brigade of Patriarchs Mil
liant. composed of two cantons and
headed by the splendid Seventeenth regi,
menc band from Fort Russell. They
needed no escort to increase the effect OF
the handsome procession which they
formed. and as they marched first to the
ALBANY and from there to Glenarm hotel
on fifteenth street they drew applause
from the thousands of admiring spec
tators. The people of the great territory
and Magic City never do things by halves,
and the presentation which they made
adds to the high reputation for creditable
display upon public occasions which they
have always possessed. The two cantons
arc from Cheyenne and Laramie City re-
spectively, and are under command Of
Lieutenant Colonel Kuykendall. They
are well drilled and very handsomely
equipped, having two elegant banners
